    No one wants to press play | Episode 6 | The Journey to £16 Million

    Rich can’t close a door.That’s the running joke in this episode of Founder Therapy, but the stakes are real: verbal commits, stalled sign-offs, a pipeline packed with interest and no follow-through.This week, Doug and Rich go deep on the friction between market interest and actual buyer commitment especially in a post-AI world where product value is harder to define, urgency is harder to create, and everyone is second-guessing where to spend.We cover:Why so many deals are stalling before kickoffWhat startups and SMEs are expecting from modern service firmsHow MOHARA is repositioning to serve innovation teams betterThe hidden influence of AI on early-stage salesWhether it’s time to rethink the first callIt’s honest, chaotic, and packed with real-time pivots.This is the therapy session where we try to figure out how to close the damn door.Remember to like and subscribe to our channel.

    Rich's New Investment Thesis | Episode 5 | The Journey to £16 Million

    What happens when you collapse the speed of venture building?In this week’s Founder Therapy, Doug grills Rich on his new initiative: the Transformer Program. It’s a category somewhere between an incubator, accelerator, dev shop and studio. The goal? Take a founder from idea to live product in 12 weeks using AI tools, micro-signals of intent and stage-gated capital.Rich breaks down the thinking behind the model, the failures that shaped it, and why the next six months are all about testing. From startup cohorts to stealth AI-infused eCommerce, the conversation covers positioning, equity and how to find the most underpriced founders.We get into:What makes a startup “transformer-worthy”Why incubators and accelerators miss the mark for early ideasA smarter approach to capital and equity at pre-seedHow to spot founders who move faster than the marketThis is the kickoff of something new. Rich says it’s a new category. Doug says it’s a lot of jargon. Either way, it's on.Remember to like and subscribe to our channel. Want to get to know us a little better?

    Most entrepreneurs run on autopilot | Episode 4 | The Journey to £16 Million

    Most entrepreneurs are running their businesses on autopilot.In this week’s Founder Therapy, Doug and Rich explore the quiet assumptions that sneak into operations, decision-making, and positioning. Drawing from WW2 bomber crew tactics and real conversations inside their own companies, they examine what happens when founders stop challenging the things they take for granted.From how planes were protected in wartime, to how parents choose schools, to who gets priority in a sales pitch, they reflect on the small mental shortcuts that quietly shape big outcomes.We get into:How most founders are flying on autopilot without realising itWhat WW2 bombing runs teach us about iterating under pressureWhy Rich never questioned whether they should sell to enterprise clientsHow Doug uncovered a smarter way to evaluate schoolsWhat makes a business model innovative, and when it stops workingIt’s a raw look at the danger of default thinking and how to start seeing your own blind spots.Remember to like and subscribe to our channel!

    AI isn’t a replacement for skill | Episode 3 | The Journey to £16 Million

    The pressure's on. Revenue is tracking behind target, expectations around AI are skyrocketing, and not every buyer understands the gap between hype and execution. In this week’s Founder Therapy, Doug and Rich dig into the growing tension between speed, value, and perception, especially when it comes to selling premium services in an AI-inflated world.Rich shares how AI tools like Lovable are reshaping expectations in the market, and why that’s making some sales conversations harder, not easier. Doug talks numbers and checks in on the reality behind their £16M ARR goal. They also reveal a major strategic split across their business, designed to serve two very different types of buyers.We get into:What happens when clients expect ChatGPT to build an appThe difference between engineering speed and real product valueWhy the team is splitting into two: premium advisory and early-stage ventureHow to validate faster without lowering the barNew equity models for idea-stage startupsIt's a raw and honest look at how they're adjusting their approach without losing sight of what matters.Remember to like and subscribe to our channel!

This episode is all about hitting reset on what actually moves the needle, owning the uncomfortable moments, and making sharper bets with limited bandwidth.Doug talks through where outbound started falling flat and why more activity isn’t always the solution. Rich shares how they’re narrowing the focus, revalidating assumptions, and using constraint as a filter for clarity.We get into:Why more leads won’t fix a fuzzy offerHow to spot the difference between noise and signalWhat to do when confidence takes a hitThe upside of friction in your processBeing brutally clear about your next milestoneThis is what building a business actually looks like.
